This site is all about my favorite childhood toys--Johnny West
and The Best of the West! When my parents moved our family down to Florida
from Canada in 1969, I was unable to bring my whole collection of Johnny West
stuff. Parting with my favorite toys was hard. Once in Florida and
through the years, I had many other things to worry about. Now that I'm
older, I found I was longing for that connection to my youth. It all
started when my husband of 28 years got me a Johnny West doll and the Covered
Wagon with the wheeled horse for Christmas in 2012. It's his fault :)
...I'm hooked again. I have managed to get back almost all the pieces I had when
I was a kid, and then some. I used to repaint horses (Breyers mostly) but
did some Marx horses, and find that I enjoyed doing that; so I have started
doing it again. Pictures will be posted as they are complete.

Enjoy your visit here.

Some pictures of part of my collection back in the mid to late
sixties:

My brother, Billy, made props for me back then; and
he's made more for my Johnny West clan making
1:6 scale props. The tack was made by
me back in the 70's!
